Over the next few days, Lu Yuan watched as the number of vaccines in the camp gradually decreased, and he finally felt relieved after the last group of people had finished receiving their vaccinations.
The missing parts for the ship have now been found at the camp.
Early that morning, although Lu Yuan's face was oily, he was in excellent spirits.
Xiao Shan didn't know why Lu Yuan was so excited. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Lu Yuan's oily face, so she couldn't help but pinch his cheek.
"You stayed up late again last night and didn't sleep?"
Lu Yuan laughed and then whispered something in the other person's ear.
After hearing this, Xiao Shan's face immediately lit up with excitement.
"What? You mean you really got these things? You mean our ship is already built?"
"Yes, now I have this good news to tell you. You are the first person to know this news. Come on, now I will take you to see my big ship."
Xiao Shan immediately showed a joyful expression and followed Lu Yuan out of the residence.
Once outside, Lu Yuan gently pointed to a secluded spot.
Immediately, a huge ship about 150 meters long appeared on the water.
The ship's hull is entirely silver-gray, giving it a powerful and robust appearance.
The ship is equipped with a full range of shipboard equipment, and there are two gun turrets on the bow deck, which are a type of artillery independently developed and designed by Lu Yuan.
Although it is far inferior to the firepower of cannons on real warships, it is still enough to easily destroy enemy warships.
The camp has now largely returned to normal order. The cannibals have been mostly eliminated; after all, once people are well-fed, they have the energy to deal with anything outside.
Lu Yuan has now provided them with a grain loan program, which allows them to shoulder the heavy burden of grain rations through loans.
However, there is no need to repay the loan so far. One of the rules that Lu Yuan set for them is that once he has planned out a suitable planting area, they will have to start working.
Moreover, it's free labor. Lu Yuan distributes seeds to them, and they cultivate the land. When the harvest is ready, they have to share a portion of the harvest with themselves according to a set ratio. In addition, these people also need to pay a portion of the interest to repay the grain debts they owed before.
Lu Yuan is now perfectly embodying the lending methods of landlords in ancient times.
In ancient times, he would definitely have been criticized, but in this apocalyptic world, his actions did not make these people hate him.
On the contrary, more and more people hoped that Lu Yuan could distribute more land to them. They were willing to work for Lu Yuan for free, so that they could save their lives and also produce more food.
When Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan boarded the warship, they realized just how enormous it was.
At this time, the warship, which was over 150 meters long, was still quite a large vessel, although it was somewhat smaller than a real warship.
The ship's hull is divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower.
The lower deck is used to store fuel, engine equipment, and various tools; anything that affects the ship's handling is placed in the lower deck.
The middle layer warehouse was the eastern part, used to store grain and other important supplies.
The upper deck of the warship was the passenger cabin, which was used for living or growing crops.
The reason Lu Yuan designed this warship to be so large was so that he could raise some living things and grow some crops on it.
Because Lu Yuan still harbors an idea: when will he be able to reach the Himalayas or the Hengduan Mountains, the human settlements that everyone dreams of?
Once they arrived in those places, they wouldn't have to be so frugal in growing food to make a living anymore.
Lu Yuan even heard that large-scale cultivation of fertile land had begun at the locations of these two settlements.
Moreover, it is said that life is quite good, and they have recovered to the level of the famine years before the apocalypse.
Back home, the relocation was settled, and the family members all had excited expressions on their faces as they packed up all sorts of items and put them on the ship.
Lu Yuan then selected the larger items, either sending them into the dimensional space or placing them on the ship.
The area of the dimensional space has now expanded several times over, which is more than enough for Lu Yuan to put a lot of things in. However, Qiao Ya said that these places will become her experimental fields in the future, and there is not much space left for Lu Yuan to occupy.
Therefore, Lu Yuan can only try to reduce the number of times he uses the space. This way, he can reduce his dependence and make it easier for him to take action.
On the other hand, although land exists in the dimensional space, it could disappear at any time, so Lu Yuan can no longer store those things in the dimensional space as before.
As the ships sailed out of their settlement, they immediately caused a commotion outside.
When everyone saw the brand-new, silver-gray ship sail out into the narrow waters, their faces showed envy.
Even Luo Xuan couldn't help but congratulate Lu Yuan when he heard the news.
However, Luo Xuan looked worried. He was concerned that Lu Yuan would leave immediately after acquiring the ship. There were still many things that needed to be resolved, so he needed Lu Yuan's help.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan has no intention of leaving. He is just bringing the ship to test the waters and let everyone see what he looks like.
Seeing the envious looks on everyone's faces, Lu Yuan nodded contentedly and sailed back to his residence.
This time, Lu Yuan planned to lead his men to that nameless mountain to eliminate the cannibals on it, and then cultivate the land there to plan his own buildings.
When everything was ready, the sky slowly darkened.
As Lu Yuanyao gazed at the way the dark clouds were clearing in the sky, a vague sense of worry crept into his heart.
"Could it be that another new storm is forming?"
Lu Yuan looked into the distance, a hint of worry in his heart.
However, the necessary tasks still need to be done, starting with the external parts of the ship.
To prevent the cannibals from easily climbing onto the ships, he welded many barbed-like things onto the exterior of these ships.
If these cannibals try to climb onto the ship, their bodies will be trapped under these spikes, and they will be unable to board unless they completely pierce their own bodies.
These cannibals are different from humans. Their hands are not as flexible as human fingers, and their bodies are not as agile as humans, making it more difficult for them to climb.
